Cell and immunobiology

Dr Anne Camille La Flamme

We study immunoregulation - the mechanisms that regulate the immune system - from several complementary perspectives. Our research is investigating how the immune system can be enhanced or modified to prevent serious disease from infectious agents or autoimmunity.

The autoimmune disease multiple sclerosis (MS) is a major research focus. We are investigating how the immune system can be modified to prevent disease as well as trying to find new targets for future MS therapies.

We have a strong connection to the Malaghan Institute for Medical Research on campus, as Dr Anne La Flamme heads their Multiple Sclerosis Research Group.
